No Restriction



Recommended Posts

My band slipped in Oct. & I had all the Fluid removed. I had just switched to a new Dr. My band has now been refilled but it is NOT the same. I can over eat if I let myself. My Dr said my band is in an "ok" spot. Anybody else have this happen? I have NO restriction at all.

I have suffered Aslin and repositioning surgery over a year ago...I did notice a change in restriction...fortunately I have only 5.4 in a 10cc band so I've got lots of room to play

Mine slipped about 5 mths ago. About a month ago, the dr took out about 1/2 of my fill and let it go for 3 weeks. He told me he'd put it all back in. I went last week to get refilled and he decided to fill me slowly. Only put 1cc in. I have about 7cc in a 14cc band. I've gained about 5 lbs since they took the Fluid out - no restriction whatsoever after my 1cc fill. I'm going to CA for 2 weeks next week, so I can't get another fill till I get back. I'm hungry all the time and I'm eating way out of control. I love my band - when it's working properly. I've lost over 100 lbs and was only 11 lbs from goal. Now it seems like I'll never get there.

I knew it was too good to be true that he'd fill me back up all the way. I have to drive 6 hrs round trip and pay $160 each fill too. Hope I get back on track soon. I gave away all my jumbo clothes so I'll have nothing to wear. Already noticed I didn't need a belt yesterday with my jean shorts. Uh oh. Need to get control of myself before I gain anymore. I let the band do all the work. I don't have a healthy diet at all.

Good luck to you. Just wanted to letcha know you're not alone!

Hi and sorry , but just hang on. I had my band unfilled in November. I am up to 6 cc but have no restriction. I am having faith that this fill on Friday will be the one to give me restriction. I do agree there is a big difference in the band before and now, but Im hoping for the best. Good luck to you.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
